    Edgar Allan Poe's "A Premature Burial" is a chilling tale of a man's intense fear of being buried alive. The narrator, haunted by the possibility of waking up entombed, becomes obsessed with the idea of being buried prematurely. 
    After a series of near-death experiences, the narrator's fear intensifies. He devises elaborate precautions to prevent such a fate, including a secret bell system connected to his bed and a will stipulating that his body be kept in a specially constructed vault for three days after his apparent death. 
    Despite his precautions, the narrator's worst nightmare comes true. He is mistakenly declared dead and buried. Trapped in a coffin, he must fight for his survival against the encroaching darkness, the cold, and the terrifying realization that he may never escape.

    He’s a guitar player who works odd hours.  
    She’s his curvy new neighbor with a mouthy co-dependent husky.  
    Miscommunication taints their initial meeting, but will their physical attraction allow them a second chance at a first impression? 
    Kirian: It’s been three weeks since my new neighbor moved into the adjoining duplex. Three weeks of hearing a woman I’ve yet to see conjure up fantasies with her phone sex job, and of a howling demon dog who makes noise morning, noon, and night. I’m ready to give her a piece of my mind, except she isn’t what I expect, and one look at her spilling out of her tank top erases all of my complaints except one—if she’s going to cause me to lose sleep, I have a much better idea on how to we can do that. 
    Jamie: I’m a PTSD counselor—not a sex phone operator as my neighbor accuses—and I’d be a lot more pissed off if he wasn’t standing there, near naked, in the form of some mythical Nordic god. And the fact that my puppy has sided with him isn’t helping me stomp away in a huff either. Should I trust my puppy’s instincts and give this guy a second chance at a first impression? 
    Each book in the series is a complete, standalone story. This is a steamy, short contemporary romance, complete with instalove and a guaranteed happily ever-after. If you're looking for a great lunchtime read, or something to spark sexy dreams before bed, you’ll want to pick this one up.

    Waking up naked and freezing in the snow of Central Park after a night as a wolf is just another hellish winter commute for Michael Andrews, a Canadian werewolf grappling with life in New York City.  
    Despite possessing enhanced senses, superhuman strength, and agility in his human form, Michael is at a low point, haunted by the loss of the woman he believes is his soulmate, and strained by his secret and his past mistakes. While he uses his unique abilities to thwart crime and help strangers, he questions the point of it all, feeling his efforts are just small drops in a skeptical world. 
    This short story, originally created for a werewolf themed Uncollected Anthology (Issue #33) takes place between the novella Stowe Away (Book 2) and the novel Fear and Longing in Los Angeles (Book 3) in the Canadian Werewolf series.
